Gratitude
The Bible teaches us about the power of gratitude. It also teaches us that an attitude of thanksgiving to God will fill us with hope and joy. Think about it! Below you will find several scriptures on being thankful! Being thankful will fill your heart with gratitude for all He’s ALREADY done and all He’s yet to do! Pick your favorite, and focus on the many blessings we’ve received! Focus on the blessings of God and on finding things to be grateful for every day!
In fact, we encourage you to write down 5 things each day that you are grateful for! Start by putting down the date, and then the 5 things for that day you’re thankful for. The next day, write 5 more things that you’re thankful for, different than what you wrote the day before. Keep doing this and watch as your heart fills with gratitude for all that He’s ALREADY blessed you with!
Then teach others to do the same. Disciple those around you in the art of finding things to be grateful. Make it fun!
Start and end your prayer time with what you’re thankful for each and every day! Sandwich your requests in between. You will begin to filled with the joy of the Lord! Watch as it becomes “contagious!”
